I wish there were a program (maybe there is, but I bet it co$$$$ts) where one could take a recording 
of his audio and have his slides in an adjoining window and just go along and insert slide changes, 
so the audio ends up in the same movie or flash file as the slides. Best would be if one could just 
wear a lav mic and the computer both projects the slides and records into the audio its recording 
where the slide changes occur (look for the page down or arrow down key strikes).  Then at the end 
of the presentation, the person just saves the file to a movie or flash or whatever and can upload 
it right away to YouTube or whatever. No silly grainy useless video, but words matched to slides. 
I've wanted to do this with my AES presentations, but all software I've investigated is way too much 
of a money-suck and/or a time-suck. The only way, realistically, that I'd ever have time for this 
would be if it could be recorded live as I do the presentations. I'm actually very surprised that 
Adobe or YouTube haven't developed free software to do this, because it would be a major selling 
point for their companies. If it were Adobe, it would become very common and popular (oh, I'm 
running Adobe whatever so the whole presentation will be online soon or, I'm running YouTube 
Recorder, so it'll go right online when I'm done). I can't imagine it's that hard, just a matter of 
capturing audio sync'd to the computer's presentation software output and recording the whole 
package into a digital video file.
